I thought I had caught a glimpse of the master plan but now my enlightenment has faded into shades of gray
It seems to be concealed from my sight, camouflaged by emptiness, endless nothing
So now I quietly carry on, pretending to understand, so ashamed of my inner dimness, such numbness this complete lack of insight
I wear this mask, walk alone and keep to myself on this ever-changing road
I would find serenity in believing that the more we know the less we understand
For I once believed I knew the answers of that great mystery of God and humankind
But isn’t that the goal of so many of us, to achieve faith beyond a doubt, beyond reason?
Yet to strive to go beyond belief and to become all knowing is a road less traveled
One that leads to an awakening of pure common sense, logic that embraces reality
That is to understand that there was not meant to be an answer
No, not in this realm of being
